Malin Akerman Debuts an Edgy ’Do at an Emmys After-Party

Malin Akerman is the latest star to jump on the short hair trend. The actress debuted her daring new haircut at the HBO Emmys after-party on Monday night in Los Angeles, and we got the inside scoop!

Akerman, who chopped her blond locks only five hours before the bash, said that a cropped style has been a long time coming. "I've always wanted short hair, but I've never been brave enough to do it. I just felt like I wanted to do it and give it a shot," she told InStyle.com. The edgy haircut resembles a faux hawk, with shaved sides and a slightly longer top. "[It feels] amazing and freeing. I love it! I finally feel like I have a haircut that represents me."
